Claudio had provided me with an estimate of the work to be completed. I had also asked him to provide some basic prices for some additional work I may consider in the future. Originally the work included installing the cable connections and a new outlet, however I called him just prior to the date of the appointment and asked if he could also install a 220 volt line in my garage for a dryer. He was on time, professional and installed all the items that I had requested. I had just purchased the house and he also did a thorough inspection of my entire electrical system throughout the house which was extremely appreciated. He took the time to answer all my questions and explain my electrical system so that I have a much better understanding. I had indicated that I may do some additional lighting in the future and he was very informative about recessed lighting and LED installation. He had some additional suggestions as we did a walk-through of the rooms and property as well. I would highly recommend CGS Electric for any electrical work required, and Claudio was phenomenal!
Description of Work: CGS Electric installed cable connections in all 3 bedrooms and living room, installed a new electrical outlet in office and installed a 220 volt 30 amp line for dryer in garage. Thorough inspection of electrical system in attic, under house and through out entire house.

No work was physically done once the problem was solved by just resetting the GFI switch in the laundry room. I would have never that out..
Description of Work: I thought my problem was at the circuit braker panel when the outlets in 3 bathrooms were dead. To my surprise, he tracked it down and found that the GFI outlet in the laundry room controlled the bathroom outlets. Old wiring would never pass today's codes. Because it was such an easy fix, they checked out another problem at no extra charge.

Claudio Sanchez (CGS), came to our appointment on time, was very friendly and helpful. We needed him to install a ceiling light fixture and check out a wall socket. But before he could install the ceiling fixture he had to repair the ceiling electrical outlet box. He then did install the fixture. There was a problem with the way the fixture was made and the light bulbs would not fit correctly so Claudio had to take the fixture down for us. No problem there as we are going to return the fixture and purchase another. Claudio said he will be glad to come back and install the new fixture for us at no cost. The next job was to checkout the wall socket for us. Claudio notices there was damage to the socket and replaced the whole unit. We are very pleased with the jobs and feel Claudio takes his work very seriously with safety in mind for the home owner.
Description of Work: Repaired the electrical ceiling outlet and changed out a wall socket.

Claudio arrived before the appointment time, which ended up being great! He was pleasant, professional, efficient, and very informative about the electrical work he was doing for us. We have hired Claudio before and were very happy with his work then as well as now. We are actually planning for him to come out to do some more outdoor electrical work in the future (once the weather cools down).
Description of Work: He removed two old outdoor light fixtures, installed two new outdoor light fixtures, helped us troubleshoot through another electrical issue we were having with our Malibu Lights, and gave us estimates for a few other electrical services we need.

Claudio's service was outstanding. His electrical skills and analysis resulted in his discovering, isolating and correcting an open hot and reversed polarity in our house circuits which we have not been able to determine or correct the cause. He accomplished this effort in minimum time despite the complexity of separate "old and new" circuits in an addition This is the second time we used and obtained excellent service and results from Claudio. He is efficient and pleasant to work with. We recommend him and his company to anyone who wants outstanding service and results.

If you are looking for a good electrician, this is the guy. He really takes pride in his work and does not try to oversell you on service you do not need. I was impressed by the fact he actually listened to what we were asking for rather than presuming we didn't know what we wanted. Invoicing was very prompt, both for estimates on work to be done as well as work completed. I had no surprises throughout the contracting process. I was also impressed by the fact once he started the job, Claudio was working on site every day, working the whole time and personally inspecting every job, even if it was performed by one of his very capable associates. He also provided a good interface with city officials involved with the permitting and inspection process. Claudio was a pleasure to work with. He and his crew were always on time and worked steadily to complete the jobs they had scheduled for that day. He is quite busy which to me is a testament to his skill and reputation. Despite his high demand, I never felt he was not focused on my job and that gave me a good feeling the job was being done right. Even the city permitting people told me I had a great electrician. Claudio also persuaded me that several tasks I had on my to-do list were unnecessary. Now that's a professional. In summary, this is a first class electrician with a first class crew!
Description of Work: Moved and replaced the electrical box to the house. Rewired home office and air conditioning for dedicated power. Installed several new wall switches. Installed GFI plugs in two bathrooms and kitchen. Converted several two station plugs to four station plugs. Installed perimeter security lights on house, all worked by remote control. Re-wired garage service to comply with current codes. Installed new shop lights in garage. Checked several suspect plugs.

Claudio is a professional, reliable electrician. He's worked on several large and small projects for us. What I like about him is that he will pay attention to detail no matter the size of the job. On one particular bigger job, one where we installed a built in cabinet for a TV and another built in desk, he was excellent at the many details that had to come together to make everything fit properly, including some outlets and ethernet jacks placed in some tight spaces. He also was very good at working with the other contractors, asking the right questions to make sure the job was done right, even with all the variables involved. I highly recommend.
Claudio did a great job and the price was good. He showed up when he said he was going to show up. The work he did was great and he solved some problems for me. The new circuits that I had installed were problematic because I needed them landed on the other side of the house from the sub-panel. I had thought this out (and looked at the house) and decided how I wanted it done and he did it. I wasn't even sure it was possible to do it the way I wanted (I wanted them run up the interior a wall from the first floor through the second floor and to the roof), to be honest, but he humored me and found a way to do it. When there were options for doing certain thing, Claudio ran them by me and asked me how I wanted it done instead of making a decision himself (I've had contractors, including another electrician, make the decision without giving me the options). Besides doing good work and being reasonably priced, Claudio is personable and friendly guy. I will definitely use him in the future and I highly recommend him. p.s. I don't understand people leaving "F" ratings because someone didn't call them back (I mean the reviewer never talked to the provider at all). The rating has nothing to do with the quality of the work and the possibilities as to what happened (including an error on the part of the reviewer) are endless.
Description of Work: Upgraded my main service panel from 100 amps to 200 amps, upgraded the sub-panel, installed several new circuits that required running conduit across the (flat) roof and some other ingenuity, pulled circuits up to the roof for A/C units (two minisplits), and sundry other things.
